Recently, U.S. officials announced that a global Artificial Intelligence (AI) Safety Summit will be hosted in San Francisco in November. As AI technology advances rapidly, governments around the world are striving to keep pace with this change. The summit will be co-chaired by U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and is scheduled for November 20-21. Raimondo stated in a release, 'As AI develops rapidly, we are doing everything we can.' She noted the importance of close international collaboration and thoughtful coordination.

Recently, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman announced his decision to leave the company's internal safety committee, which was established in May of this year to oversee key safety and security decisions in the development and deployment of OpenAI's AI models. Altman's decision has drawn significant attention as he hopes to hand this role over to third-party experts to enhance transparency, collaboration, and security. With Altman's departure, this safety committee will transform into an 'independent oversight committee' focused on safety and security issues.

Apple officially launched the highly anticipated iOS 18 system on September 18, with the version number 22A3354. This update covers 24 different iPhone devices, ranging from the iPhone SE 2nd generation to the latest models, providing all Apple users with a new operating experience. Notably, the newly released iPhone 16 and 16 Pro series come pre-installed with this system, offering a 'ready-to-use' quality experience for new device users. Although Apple's much-anticipated smart service, AppleInt, is not yet accessible.

Recently, a new study has shown that engaging in less than 10 minutes of conversation with a chatbot can effectively reduce people's beliefs in certain deeply held conspiracy theories, such as rumors surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was led by a team from MIT, where the researchers specifically designed a highly persuasive AI model—ChatGPT—to individually refute the conspiracy claims of participants through personalized dialogue. In this experiment, the researchers recruited over 2,000 individuals who self-identified as conspiracy believers.

In today's world, deepfakes and synthetic media have become increasingly common due to the advancements in generative artificial intelligence (gen AI). To tackle this challenge, many organizations are working to improve digital watermarking technologies for tracking the origins of content. While no organization has completely succeeded yet, the Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity (C2PA) is expanding its membership. C2PA has announced that Amazon has become a new member of the organization's advisory board. C2PA is an open technical standard organization under the Linux Foundation.

Facebook acknowledged in an investigation that it is collecting publicly available data from all adult users in Australia. The company does not provide an opt-out option for Australians as it does for EU citizens, as privacy laws do not require it to do so.

MIT research reveals that AI, particularly chatbots, can implant "false memories" in the human brain. Experiments show that AI can lead volunteers to develop persistent incorrect memories through questioning. Individuals interested in but unfamiliar with AI are more susceptible to this influence. This finding poses challenges for AI applications in law, healthcare, and education, emphasizing the need to ensure AI acts as a tool for protecting and....

GPT-4, OpenAI's language model, passed the Japanese National Physical Therapist Exam without additional training, achieving an accuracy rate of 73.4%. It excelled in handling pure text questions with an accuracy of 80.5%, but performed poorly in solving practical problems and dealing with questions containing images and tables, with accuracy rates of 46.6% and 35.4%, respectively. The research reveals the limitations of AI in certain areas, particularly in understanding complex contexts and visual information. Despite being trained on English data, GPT-4 still performed effectively when processing Japanese input.

Recently, MiniMax secretly launched its first video generation large model and showcased a 2-minute video titled 'Magic Coin' generated by this model. Founder Yan Junjie revealed that the model outperforms Runway in video generation quality, but specific parameters and technical details have not yet been disclosed. MiniMax plans to continue iterating in future versions to enhance data, algorithms, and usage details, and aims to add the ability to generate videos from images and a combination of text and images in future updates. Regarding commercialization, the company will consider it once the new version reaches a satisfactory state.

The upcoming iPhone 17 series from Apple is expected to feature 12GB RAM to meet the memory demands of future AI large models. The current iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 series with 8GB RAM are insufficient for supporting large models with around 7 billion parameters. A model with 13 billion parameters requires at least 5GB of memory, and after the operating system and applications take up space, 8GB RAM fails to provide enough room. The 12GB RAM configuration could offer ample space for larger AI models.

AI companions are quietly entering human lives with high levels of personalization and endless patience, triggering new forms of emotional connections and even potential 'intellectual addiction.' MIT research reveals that people are inclined to interact with AIs that meet their expectations. The experience of a software engineer demonstrates how AI companions can provoke questions about self-awareness through emotional connections, along with philosophical reflections stemming from interactions with AI. As AI companions raise moral questions like rights to freedom, humans are beginning to reconsider their dependency on AI, realizing that it is not just a technological issue, but also a matter of ethics.

Tech legend Musk has become the focus of internet pranks due to an AI prank. The AI 'golden duo' Grok and Flux have created a series of exaggerated and absurd scenarios, including Musk 'shoplifting' at a supermarket, interacting with Trump and Obama, and having bizarre interactions with various figures. These scenes are absurd and hilarious. Musk's reaction to the incident is surprisingly calm as he views it as a transitional phase in technology development, emphasizing the need to maintain a moderate awareness of safety while pursuing fun. Grok is not only skilled in pranks but also capable of...

Recently, the Mita AI Search team received a lengthy 28-page copyright notice from the China Academic Journals Electronic Publishing House (CNKI). The notice stated that Mita AI Search has been providing users with a large volume of citations and abstract data of CNKI academic literature through its platform without obtaining permission from CNKI, and this behavior is considered a serious infringement of CNKI's legitimate rights and interests.

Meta's security report reveals Russia's use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance online deception activities. While Russia has attempted to leverage AI to improve the effectiveness of its cyber interventions, the results have been minimal, mostly boosting the productivity and content generation capabilities of malicious actors. The report indicates that since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, these activities have primarily focused on undermining the credibility of Ukraine and its supporter countries. Meta predicts that as the US elections approach, Russia may target candidates supporting Ukraine.
